Thompson, a three-time NBA champion with the Warriors, believes the speculation will have no bearing on his relationship with his teammates.

"I don't think so because not many teams think they have the chance of winning the title but we are one of them and that's the only thing on our minds and I don't think it really affects us," he added.

"We're all grown men, at the end of the day. Whatever we decide to do, we're all brothers and we're not going to hold any grudges because it's business."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was equally level-headed when asked about the Lakers fans chanting for Thompson, adding if he was among them he would be joining in.

"They should want Klay, if I were sitting with them I'd chant the same thing," he said.

While Thompson prospered, Stephen Curry had a rare off night, eventually making 14 points after missing his first eight shots and not making a basket until midway through the third quarter.

But Kerr was philosophical about Curry's performance.

"We're probably spoiled with him, you see a night like tonight and nobody can believe, including the coaches, that he hasn't made a shot through three quarters," he added.

"It shocks you because you expect every one [shot] to go but it just reminds you that they are all human and they have tough nights.

"But what makes Steph stand out is that even on a tough night he finds a way to get going after three quarters of zero field goals."
